Very striking indeed!

I'm curious though, what do you use the griffons with chariots on top as?
I particularly like the two-headed one.

I've been using them as manticores, but given the size, I think they could also be black dragons in a pinch.

Very good paintjob, you have some very good skills with lightning and things, the witches for example are extremely well done!! :D
Also planning to paint my DE army a bright (fiery) red - so I'm very interested in how you're doing stuff ..

Only thing I like less is the red weapons, but that's personal taste.

Thanks for the comments. I got a bit more done on the RXBs. And I've been working on the "rock" part of the bases. I'm going for an obsidian look.

Got a bit more work done on some bases -- and finished (mostly) the cauldron of blood.

Wow! Really unique concept, very stylish. I especially liked the grey leopard spots on the griffon.
Have you considered adding more black to your scheme?

I tried to put more black in through the horses, which are predominantly black/dark grey. Hadn't thought about putting it elsewhere.

Here's a few pics of a group that are finished up for a local tournament:

Can you give us a close up of the little missy on the right hand corner (as we look) of the Execs?

I think it's a mini from Dark Swords (or Dark Ages?). I'm not going to search for it right now, because it's NSFW in the form they painted it. I'll try and provide a link later.

In the meantime, I finally got all my painted stuff in one place for a bit:

Definitely very striking when seen as one army. Impressive work.

Hey guys - thanks for the kind comments. I have been working on a display board (nothing particularly special), but it's too small to put the whole army on. I'll see if I can get a couple pics tonight (just debating whether it needs a further drybrushing).

Thanks. I haven't managed to get more work done on my display board, but I have gotten some work done on my black guard.

Awesome army. I think you've done really well, and that it has come a long way. Your color scheme works SO well on the DE infantry and cav

I love these. I want to do a similar color scheme, but I want red to be the main color and white to be the third color.
